Begin a first draft with confidence in our College Essay Workshop.  

​

Having a plan in place for application season is a big relief for students and parents alike. Taking a college essay writing workshop is an excellent first step to ensuring a smooth admissions timeline. Sometimes putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to write an application essay is the hardest step, but with this workshop, it becomes easy!

Now that fewer schools are requiring SAT & ACT scores, the personal statement portion of college applications matters more than ever in the college admissions process!

What you’ll learn: 

​

- what admissions essay readers hope to see in your personal statements

- what essay-readers DON’T want to ever see in admissions essays

- grammar, punctuation, & formatting tips

- how Common App prompts and supplementary statements for individual universities look 

- strategies to brainstorm topic ideas and choose appropriate content

- how to stop procrastinating and finally start writing

- editing and proofreading techniques to polish final drafts

- science-backed anxiety-reducing techniques to help minimize stress
 

Every participant leaves with a started rough draft and information about steps to take after the workshop.
